CESIUM TALENT

About Us

Founded in 2010, Cesium supports clients across the luxury and consumer sectors by identifying and securing game-changing talent.

As a headhunting business, we pride ourselves on sourcing the best possible talent for a given mandate, as opposed to those actively seeking a career change. In our experience, world-class leaders are not typically applying to job advertisements; they are busy running successful businesses and driving growth.

We have an unrivalled network of contacts and have delivered on over 99% of the mandates we have searched.

How We Add Value

As a client-centric business, we strive to build genuine long-term business partnerships and be the ‘go-to’ partner for all people projects globally, whether that involves executive search projects, coaching, leadership development, or outplacement.

We humbly believe that our people-centric board advisory offering provides a sounding board for our network to solve complex people challenges and gain a meaningful competitive advantage. Delivered through a competent and engaged leadership team that outthinks, rather than outspends, its competitive set.
